WESTERN
AUSTRALIA -
Purnululy
National Park ( Bungle
Bungle)
This
3000 square km National Park is hailed as
one of Australia s greatest natural
wonders.
The
ecology of the park is very delicately
balanced and the striped beehive like rock
formations are extremely fragile. They
have thin outerskins of black lichen and
orange silica which, if broken, will
expose the soft sandstone beneath to the
torrential rains of the green season
resulting in erosion.
Vegetation
in the area contrasts from unique Bungle
Bungle Fan Palm, to tough eucalypts and
spinifex in the plains. and open areas.
At
the southern end of the park is Piccaninny
Creek where the spectacular formations and
side gorges are awe-inspiring.
Vehicle
access is extremely difficult and limited
to 4WD with good clearance. No caravans or
trailers allowed.
Visitors
are requested to stay on authorized
tracks. New tracks can cause huge erosion
gullies in the Green Season, destroying
large tracts of land and preventing
access. Due to seasonality and the
fragility of internal roads, this national
park is closed during January, February
and March. The period may be extended
dependent on weather conditions.
There
are three camping areas inside the park,
Kurrajong, Walardi and Bellburn. All have
drinking water, and toilets and Bellburn
is specifically used by tour operators.
Visitors
are asked to be self sufficient and
refrain from lighting camp fires and take
all rubbish with them.
